The Brandywell was close to a sell out tonight. Not a lot of empty seats on show, and a lot of people standing in various places. I don;t know what the ground holds, but I'd say the crowd was definitely in the 3,500 ball park. With the exception of last year's League Cup Final, I haven't seen a crowd like it there for a while. Devine and the club have got a good buzz going about the place.

Thanks From:

Should be another good set of attendances next weekend too hopefully :

- Rovers' first game of the season, and their first with the new stand open. Plus they're playing the league leaders
- Cork at home for first time this season.
- Sligo should hopefully draw a decent crowd after their away draw at Dundalk.
- Harps usually get decent crowds to their first game in the PD.
- I'm ignoring UCD.

Encouraging stuff

Bohs will bring a crowd to UCD. Always liked the bowl. Lovely surface for two teams that like to play ball. Be a good game.

How did Pats get that crowd was there a serious push locally in the weeks prior?

The new community officer has had a massive effect imo, he is a life long Pats fan and has done a great job. The promo video we put together was great aswell. I’m sure their will be a dip in numbers but hopefully based on this number will be up this season.
